This is exactly why we stopped going to the Unitarian church! It's the OWL (Our Whole Lives) curriculum this writer's talking about I'll bet. When I got a look at the wingnuts who would be teaching MY kid about sexuality, I decided that those right-wingers WERE right: there's not an "institution" in the world who can teach my kid better than I can. (Worry, not, dear readers, I'm a former Planned Parenthood phone counselor who's been talking about "sexuality" with my kid ever since we started gardening together and watching the birds and bunnies in our yard meet, pair up and procreate - that is to say, very naturally and age-appropriately.) Anyway, I came to realize that among any group of putative "sex ed teachers" who self-select to teach sex ed, there will be a fair number of nutcases who are attracted to the field for all the wrong reasons.
Letter Writer needs to take her concerns - and pronto - to the Religious Ed director AND the pastor of the church. This is the kind of "mandated reporting" that should NOT be withheld from the people who are ultimately responsible for what goes on in RE classes.
